The A136 is the more warm than the A137. Also all the vactrol based 
modules sound nice if they are overdriven.

But I have to admit, that a simple guitare stompbox often sounds better. 
I use a Ibanez TS10, a Alesis Bitrman (in this case not the "bitr" part, 
but simply the distortion) and the tubedistortion emulation in a 
Dynacord DRP15.

The basic trick for any kind of distortion is: don't modulate the 
distortion-module itself, but modulate the level and the frequency 
spectrum of the signal which is then fed into the distortion.
